    I’m going to bet Thomas Darby here. He normally gets his head in front once a season, and this looks like being a good opportunity, though I do fear Proschema.

    I’ve not had an ante-post, I’ll just hope for bigger than 5-1 on the day

    Champ is my idea of the winner at 5-2, but the odds are maybe just a wee bit skinny for a horse who doesn’t always deliver, so I’ve taken a chance on Tea Clipper at 25-1

    A race I should probably sit out, and it’s probably the heart ruling the head, certainly at this trip, but I’ll go with Dashel Drasher at 9’s BOG. I won’t complain if he drifts even more.

    Unlikely probably in this company, but hoping for a run for my money

    Dashel Drasher 9’s

    I also like Dashel Drasher. The have to give him weight and a lot of times getting passed Dashel Drasher was harder then expected.

    Dashel Drasher 9/1

    I’ll try the young pretender Proschema, having been impressed with his last effort.

    I agree with greengrass think Proschema is the value at 5/2, looks like the improver in the field in a division ready for a new good one.

    😆 at Paisley Park only really getting rolling in the last 50 yards of a 3 mile hurdle. Does he need another half mile now? And, in a parallel universe where he went chasing, would he have won the National?
